Shirakawa-go is something to look out!!! I love your photos and how you introduce the place to your readers :) I am so intrigued about the suspension bridge, seems pretty exciting to have experience it too. 💋Nathalie Salcedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058107874426128446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006989774341308826.post-91593193917528500392018-02-14T16:03:56.263+08:002018-02-14T16:03:56.263+08:00You&#39;re most welcome.

I love the historical farmhouses, they’re so beautiful – I can see why the town has been given status by UNESCO. It’s funny, I wouldn’t have pictured this type of setting in Japan, Europe maybe. The suspension bridge over the Shokawa river is a scene which looks too beautiful for words!

From a lively, happening city like Tokyo, to a cultural one like Kyoto, from history to beautiful landscapes, beaches and even snow! I don&#39;t think even 2 weeks are enough to explore Japan (which is the amount of time I had) because places like Shirakawa-Go and many other like it don;t even feature in the itinerary of a first time visitor but are equally, if not more, pretty! Thanks for this post, I&#39;ve learned about yet another lovely destination in Japan today.Medhahttp://hoppingfeet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006989774341308826.post-70364570022952198962018-02-11T18:00:07.795+08:002018-02-11T18:00:07.795+08:00I love all your photographs of Shirakawa-go in the...I love all your photographs of Shirakawa-go in the winter! How beautiful! We visited Takayama on our first trip (and adored the Hida beef) but didn&#39;t visit Shirakawa-go as I wasn&#39;t sure about the rustic nature of the shared minshuku accommodations available. On our most recent trip though, we had an experience I think you&#39;d love, we visited Miyama, a rural village north of Kyoto (about 45-60 minutes drive or train). This area also has traditional bamboo-thatch cottages but a different style of roof to those of Shirakawa-go. Best of all, we stayed overnight in a large wooden merchant house that was about 150 years old, with the gorgeous thatched roof, and we rented the whole house. You could easily sleep 10, 15 people in the house. You can also book breakfast, and activities they organise such as walks or cycles in the area, cookery classes or a bamboo craft workshop which we did. I don&#39;t want to drop a link, but if you&#39;d like to read more to visit yourself, search on &quot;Kavey Eats Miyama futon&quot; to find my journal! &lt;3 Kaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662875905365870280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006989774341308826.post-91762363661641027362018-02-11T01:18:54.666+08:002018-02-11T01:18:54.666+08:00If you love steaks I&#39;m pretty sure you will lo...If you love steaks I&#39;m pretty sure you will love Hida beef.

Such a luxury to have a private pool as part of your villa – and good to know that you slept really well – my husband is a light sleeper too, so we usually try to avoid places which are known for a lot of noise. Breakfast on the beach sounds heavenly – we’re in Australia, so quite close to Bali, will have to get there soon!
